The limited prior spatial information derived from scarce and incomplete historical data causes overfitting in detection models, particularly when addressing large-scale and heterogeneous online data. This article proposes a self-supervised prototypical network (SSPN) with a graph sample augmentation method (GSAM) to leverage a small amount of available training samples and enhance the generalization performance of the fault detectors. Missing sensor signals are reconstructed by exploiting the remaining sensor signals in the historical data to create complete monitoring samples. Subsequently, a subset of sensors is randomly removed from these complete samples, and additional samples are resampled from them to augment the training dataset. The augmented training samples are grouped and aggregated into multiple prototypes based on their categories. Online data are sequentially matched to the prototypes corresponding to various fault types and identified based on their similarity. For unlabeled unknown faults, a metatrained detector is designed to quickly learn and classify anomalies by utilizing prior knowledge from related metatasks. The experimental results, based on datasets from three UAVs, demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.","PeriodicalId":447,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Sensors Journal","volume":"25 20","pages":"39246-39259"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145289548","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, when a new target class appears, how the deep neural networks learn new knowledge and update the model is still an emerging problem. Directly using the new target class samples to train the deep neural networks will cause the problem of “catastrophic forgetting.” In this article, we propose a two-stage distillation learning method, PFDE-DCN, to solve the HRRP class incremental learning (CIL) problem. First, we use a machine learning boosting algorithm to dynamically extend the network and a pooled distillation learning algorithm to enable knowledge migration between the old and new feature extraction networks. Then, we use the distillation learning method to compress the extended network. The distillation strategy keeps the critical network parameters and removes the redundant network parameters to avoid the infinite increase of model complexity. We conduct experiments on both simulated and measured aircraft HRRP datasets, and the experimental results show that our method PFDE-DCN obtains the state-of-the-art performance.","PeriodicalId":447,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Sensors Journal","volume":"25 19","pages":"37522-37536"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145204554","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By utilizing MSB, the HMSB-FW SWS aims to improve the interaction between the electron beam and the electromagnetic wave. Compared with a vertical multiple sheet beams FW-SWS (VMSB-FW SWS), the HMSB-FW SWS offers a higher interaction impedance, leading to enhanced output power and gain. Simulation results indicate that the proposed HMSB-FW TWT exhibits significant improvements by over two times compared with the VMSB-FW TWT in amplification performance. Based on simulation results, with a magnetic field of 0.6 T and driven by an input signal at a frequency of 230 GHz, a saturated power of 100 W was obtained with a gain of 23 dB, an electron efficiency of 10%, and a 3-dB bandwidth of 20 GHz.

Unlike traditional methods, such as self-report questionnaires, which are often subject to biases and limited accuracy, gait-based assessment provides a more direct and spontaneous measure of personality. This study introduces a gait-based personality assessment system that leverages a low-cost wearable Internet of Things (IoT) sensor to capture fine-grained motion data, including triaxial acceleration and angular velocity from the wrist and the ankle. By focusing on the natural, involuntary aspects of gait, the system avoids the biases inherent in self-presentation. Additionally, the study presents the “Gait–Personality” dataset, featuring advanced gait phase segmentation and optimized feature extraction techniques to enhance data quality. To tackle challenges like variability in stride length and cadence, a multiscale 1-D convolutional neural network (MS-1D-CNN) was developed. By utilizing convolutional layers with multiple kernel sizes, the model captures both detailed and high-level temporal features, effectively adapting to diverse gait patterns while remaining robust to sensor variability. Experimental results demonstrate classification accuracies ranging from 77% to 84.5% across the Big Five personality dimensions, validating the system’s ability to objectively capture authentic personality traits. This study establishes a reliable, cost-efficient, and scalable framework for personality assessment, offering broad implications for psychological evaluation, mental health monitoring, and human–computer interaction, with the potential for widespread real-world applications.","PeriodicalId":447,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Sensors Journal","volume":"25 20","pages":"39230-39245"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145289543","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
